Kennedy Plumbing was the third company I called from Angie's List. The first two were booked until next week. Kennedy came out immediately. Jorge was pleasant and kept me informed about the problem and solution all the way through. When he was finished, he put me in touch with with a firm that also came today to dry out the carpet, etc. (Being new to the Northwest, I wasn't aware that mold forms as rapidly as it does.) Overall, I think it went very well. I do, however, have a small complaint. The company offered a $25.00 discount coupon, to be presented at the time of service for finding them through Angie's List. As my printer was out of ink, I thought I could show Jorge the coupon on the computer screen to redeem it. He said he had to have the actual coupon, so I didn't get the discount. This seems like an awfully rigid policy to me.
Description of Work: Jorge cut a hole in sheetrock of bedroom wall in order to replace a pipe and hose bib which had frozen inside the wall last winter. When a hose was attached and used yesterday, the broken equipment leaked on a large area of carpet and base board. The damaged equipment was replaced with a 10" frost proof hose bib and a "1/2 brass nipple X 2 1/2." Jorge also determined that there was a sprinkler leak somewhere in the system. He turned off the double check valve to abate the leak until the system installer can locate it.

it's hard to judge fairly in some ways-They were prompt and courteous--The tech replaced the broken connector and part of the trap but was unable to unplug the line(and said so). He in fact left it 100% plugged-which it had never been before. He was in the car drawing up the bill when I tested the sink and found I now had a pretty brisk leak at his connection with the sink. He repaired this free of charge but I was just lucky that I tested for that. That should NOT have been my responsibility. I later (next day) called Mr Rooter who cleaned out the plug which was rust--I suspect in attempting to clean it he (the Kennedy guy) had pushed it enough to compact it and make the obstruction complete. In fairness, he was honest and pleasant but left me in worse shape than when he arrived and had I not caught the leak he would have left me in much worse shape ie. leaking AND plugged.
Description of Work: called Kennedy due to Angie's rating-the washer/connector had cracked on the trap in the bathroom sink this was removed and broken while trying to improve a chronic intermittently slow drainage from the sink

We've had consistent problems with a clogged toilet. When it almost overflowed this morning after plunging I finally called a plumber. I chose Kennedy based on their good reviews here. They were very prompt in responding to my message and offered to come out almost immediately the same day. Jorge came and was very prompt. He snaked the toilet and did a few adjustments and advised me on what might be going on. The toilet seems to be working very well now and the whole thing was very fast and efficient. I would definitely call Kennedy again.
Description of Work: Snaked a clogged toilet and made adjustments as needed.

Got an estimate on the phone. Plumber showed up on time and repaired the shower handle(even though it was a very old style of fixture, he was able to find the parts for it). Price was exactly as estimated.
Description of Work: I had a shower that would not completely shut off. I had the internals of the shower handle replaced.

George is a great plumber! He is courteous, helpful, and professional. I fully intend to call Kennedy Plumbing again when we redo our bathrooms.
Description of Work: We called Kennedy plumbing after discovering a leaky pipe due to a bad valve under the kitchen sink when we tried to remove the old dishwasher in our newly purchased home. This happened on a Friday, so we turned off the water at the hot water heater, but the leak continued. We called Kennedy Plumbing and set up an appoinment for the following Monday morning. The plumber, George (Jorge), arrived promptly as scheduled, and replaced the pipe and valve. While testing the repaired pipes, he discovered that the garbage disposer was not working correctly, so we scheduled another visit for the following day to install a disposer. We also purchased a new kitchen faucet that evening, so that, when George arrived the next day, he installed the disposer, the faucet and soap dispense, and put in another valve to control the filtered water system. George estimated all costs and time so that I knew what to expect.

Although it would have been nice -- for both of us -- if the job had taken less time, Jorge worked until it was done right, and I appreciate that. I would definitely hire Kennedy Plumbing in the future.
Description of Work: Jorge from Kennedy Plumbing had replaced a toilet in December 2008, and it started to leak in March. He came out four days in a row until it was fixed, no charge.

We called Kennedy Plumbing at 8:30 am, the plumber arrived at 11;00 am. He had to snake the toilet multiple times to ensure the clog was cleared and then tested it multiple times to make sure it would continue to work after he left. He left at 11:30. If a plumbing emergency can be pleasent, than this was great! I also loved the $25.00 coupon I found on their website!
Description of Work: They snaked a clogged toilet for us.

I complained to Jorge about the other company that charged so much for such a brief job. Kennedy has a $25 coupon at their WEB site, so I used that and Jorge did not charge me one charge that he normally would. So, I paid less than 100, which, while not cheap, is better than $160!
Description of Work: We had a clogged toilet, and had tried to clear it ourselves, with no success. The last time this happened, the company we called charged $160 for the 5 minutes it took to clear the clog. Joreg from kennedy Plumbing was very prompt (same day I called), and cleared the clog immediately.

Although I wasn't here for it, the best thing was that our water heater was out in the morning and they replaced it the same day. We had hot water back by the end of that very day. They didn't tell anybody when I called them that it was going to cost me a lot of money.

It went very well. This was not and easy repair. The plumber accessed the drain from below through the less than one square foot hole I had cut. Suprisingly he didn't need to enlarge it. Based on the difficulty of the repair, the plumber that was sent was very experienced. He called me before he left the shop, showed up in the time window I was given, and completed the work in less than two hours. I thought the price was very fair. If I'd attempted this, it would have taken me and entire weekend and probably leaked.
Description of Work: I had them repair a leaking shower drain on our second floor. I had opened up the ceiling under the drain, identified the leak, took pictures of it and e-mailed them to Kennedy. They reviewed the photos and quoted a price of $350 to $400 to repair.

I (stupidly) put some dry rice down the disposal, which caused a major backup in our kitchen sink. We tried to plunge it ourselves, to no avail, and after deciding to call a professional and checking Angie's List, we called Kennedy Plumbing. I called just before 8 in the morning and at 9, one of their guys (Cliff) was here! Cliff was friendly, knowledgeable and quick yet thorough. I would highly recommend him (and Kennedy Plumbing), and will use them again if the need arises.
Description of Work: Kitchen sink was plugged up; Kennedy plumbing cleared stoppage, repaired a leaking basket strainer and removed/replaced accordion tail piece, cup strainer, tubular tail piece and P-trap.

What started as a simple faucet/sink replacement turned into a call to Kennedy Plumbing. I managed the faucet/sink replacement fine, but when I turned the water supply back on, water was spraying everywhere from the hot water valve under the sink. Turned the water off, and checked Angie's List for a plumber. I decided on Kennedy Plumbing after reading the reviews and placed a call at 9:30 am. They happened to have an opening at 12 noon. Mike arrived at, if not before noon, and promptly repaired the leak. He also explained what happens in older homes (30 years old) when the water supply is shut off and back on. Even showed me how to repair it myself the next time it may occur. There were no parts needed and he tightened some of the connections on my faucet replacement!! Total time on scene was about 40 minutes and then he gave me $25. off due to a special they were running this month. (something he didn't have to do, as I knew nothing about it!). So, my total repair/home repair lesson was only $90.
Description of Work: Re-packed the water supply valve under my vanity sink.

See above: No estimate was given over the phone, since this was a return visit from the original plumber.
Description of Work: Had work done previously installing a water line and drain from the same plumber 2 months ago. I wondered why there was a sewer smell, that lingered after the installation. Was expecting that installer, which was the same person, to fix it. He spent approx. 5 min. stating: That I just needed to flush the line out, never mentioned this before. He charged me $115.00 for 5 minutes work.

Response from Kennedy Plumbing Inc
WE ARE VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS CUSTOMER IS NOT HAPPY. WE HAVE A ONE HOUR MINIMUM AND WE PAY OUR PLUMBERS BY THE HOUR. THIS CUSTOMER WAS CHARGED THE MINIMUM AMOUNT. THE SMELL HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE WORK WE PERFORMED. HAD THE CUSTOMER CALLED OUR SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND EXPRESSED HIS OBJECTION TO THE CHARGE, WE WOULD HAVE MADE AN ADJUSTMENT ON THE BILL. THE FIRST WE KNEW OF THE PROBLEM WAS WHEN WE READ IT ON ANGIE'S LIST, AND WE HEARD NOTHING DIRECTLY FROM THE CUSTOMER. SINCERELY, ROY PIERCE, SERVICE MANAGER

He dug and said it looks like it's a leak with the sprinkler system. He said he cannot by law do the service, an irrigation company has to do the work. I asked if he could stop the leak. I had to leave. When I came back he said he slowed the leak down, but could not stop it. Since he says he was here for two hours, he says I owe $230. I do not think I should have to pay for this. I had to call a landscape company. The gentleman is here now and said that there is no law that the plumber couldn't do the work. The landscaping gentleman is very angry and said the plumber should not have left the job without fixing the leak.
Description of Work: I called them because a neighbor told me she saw a leak coming out of the water main box by the curb. The water company came out and told me they are not allowed to fix the leak and to call a plumber. I called this company and they came out right away.
